December

December was nice before I'd ever had a lover

Now I just cry at people caring for each other

Seems like the nights are falling darker than ever

Thought I would like it 'til it felt like forever

And it's cold out was it this cold out

When I was little and I liked when it snowed out

I can't remember but I still feel your sweater

Overheating in the summer now I'm cold in December

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

December was fine before I ever learned to travel

Now I'm in line marking my baggage as fragile

They tell me home is where my heart is beating steady

But lately it's split between a couple different cities

And I miss you why do I miss you

On a plane miles and miles away

I'm still with you

We're touching down but I still feel you at my center

You were home back in August now I'm alone in December

And so I have to change with the seasons

Let the autumn fall away with you leaving

I can disappear in the cold like every other year

Hide in holiday cheer oh-oh

And at night I'll face all my demons

Summer's when they hibernate now I'm freezing

What I wouldn't do to be a kid be at home be with you

What I wouldn't do

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

December was mine when I could tolerate the weather

When it made me smile to see anybody together

I can still hope that January will be better

Used to call it getting older now I call it December
